WAYNESBORO, GA., FRIDAY, SEPT. 8, 1882
Entered at the post office at Waynesboro, Ga.,
as second olass matter.
—Several communications crowd
ed out this week.
—Be pure to read the Tax Collec
tor’s notice'in to-day’s issue, and pre
pare to meet him.

—Henry Warren, colored, who re
ceived the appointment of route agent,
has been discharge d for incompetency.
—Mr. Julien S. Rodgers will resume
the exercises of his school next Mon
day, Sept. 11th. Those desiring to
send their children to school, will find
it to their advantage to secure a prompt,
b ginning. Remember this fact, and
be governed accordingly.
—The last paragraph in Col. Ash
ton’s letter, was a mistake. The pol

not been exactly that advocated in
this in-tance by Col. Ashton. The
paragraph in question is not in Col.

manuscript is what we do not know.

ored man, the oldest man in Burke
county, residing on Mr. Job Gres
ham’s plantation died last Sunday

been 112 years of age, which makes
the date of his birth 1770. six years
before the Declaration of Independ
ence. He was probably the oldest
man in the State.

o’clock, al the residence of the bride’s
lather, Col. S. J. Bell, occurred the
happy marriage of Miss Sarah E.
Bed, of Waynesboro, and Mr. Ed
ward A. Smith, of Burke county,

— On our first local page, that is,
our eighth page to-dav will be fouTid
the great and attractive advertise
ment of J. B. White & Co. Their
advertisement is not only attractive
on account of its size and the. artistic
skid of the printer, but from the lib
eral offers to purchasers it c^tfiffire
The names of J. B. White & Co.,
740 Broad street, Augusta, have
been pu' fish so often that they have
become household words lor miles
around Augusta, and yet not a single
customer has ever accused them of
deception. If there is anything we
have tried^o do faithfully it is to pro-
t-ct our readers against street-door
drummers, who entice the unweary
into their dens and swindle them, but
who can never be found again, as
they never appear in print. Now,
gentle reader, do not be taken in in
any such style, but go to the respon
sible bouse of J. B. White & Co.,
where you will have oDe ot the finest
and most extensive stocks in Augus

that Hon. E. A. Perkins is the a-
most unanimous choice of the peo

most influential member Burke has
ever had since the war, it is proper
to lookout and consider who,shall g,

been spoken of in this connection,

he would serve his people wall, and
he would like to have an expression

ly returned from the Northern mar

stock of both shoes and clothing, and
which be is offering at extemely low

For working out of the system the
malarial poision that is causing so
much sickness, and will cause much
more unless the system is cleansed.
Rev. Henry Walker, the colored
preacher, having authority given him
in the Gospel, Luke 9:1, cured and
prevented a large amount ot sickness
and saved expenses ill his churches
with it until he was stopped, THE
TRUE CITIZEN says it acts like a
ch;im, but is obliged to send to
